GROUNDED<\/strong> Jennifer Anniston\u2019s flight to Cabo to visit bestie Courtney Cox had to turn around, according to\u00a0TMZ<\/a><\/em>. The flight reportedly<\/a> lost a wheel or a tire during takeoff and despite reaching Mexican airspace, turned around to land in California as a safety precaution. The flight was diverted back toward an airport in Ontario, California but since the plane still had a very full fuel tank, the plane had to burn off fuel before it was deemed safe to land.<\/p>\n

ICYMI<\/strong> A new romantic music video<\/a> was shared by Netflix on the occasion of Valentine\u2019s Day, on Twitter and other social media according<\/a> to the Hindustan Times<\/em>.\u00a0Watch below.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t love if it doesn\u2019t turn your life upside down,\u201d Director Reema Sengupta.<\/p>\n

SWOON<\/strong> Tom Sturridge\u00a0and\u00a0Jake Gyllenhaal\u00a0posed<\/a> together at the opening of their play\u00a0Sea Wall\/A Life\u00a0<\/em>at The Public Theater in NYC. \u201cAnd as they did that, someone\u2019s Aunt Maureen tore threw her closet looking for her favorite Valentine\u2019s Day sweater to wear to craft club and a mid-level pimp lost it while trying to find the suit he wanted to wear to take his mom to church,\u201d said <\/a>Lainey Gossip.<\/p>\n

BATFLECK NO MORE<\/strong> Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmell that he couldn\u2019t \u201ccut it\u201d as Batman in the DCU films according to<\/a> Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. Affleck said, \u201cI tried to direct a version of it and worked with a really good screenwriter but just couldn\u2019t come up with a version \u2014 I couldn\u2019t crack it and so I thought it\u2019s time for someone else to take a shot at it. They got some really good people so I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

That version he tried to direct was\u00a0The Batman<\/em>, initially planned as Batfleck\u2019s solo cinematic outing after\u00a0Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Justice League<\/em>. In 2017, he\u00a0stepped down<\/a>\u00a0as director and replaced with Matt reeves. \u201cAnd despite\u00a0earlier statements<\/a>\u00a0about playing the role for as long as Warner Bros. would have him in it, Affleck seemingly confirmed his departure on social media as the studio\u00a0planted a firm flag<\/a>\u00a0for when\u00a0The Batman<\/em>\u00a0will hit theaters, on June 25, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the term \u201cinfluencer\u201d existed, these men helped pave the way. #blackhistorymonth, #ourstory, #fortheculture, #represent, #resist, #rise, #repeat.<\/a><\/p>\n

A post shared by Brian Keith Jackson<\/a> (@briankeithjackson) on

Jackson told\u00a0<\/a>Chill <\/em>magazine that his next book ICU <\/em>would take place in the midst of the AIDS epidemic.<\/p>\n

He hopes to have it done this year. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on it for a minute, which is how I view life. Sometimes the times catch up with you and other times you catch up with it. It\u2019s a coming of age story set in the East Village in 1993. That was a period when HIV and AIDS were front of mind for young, gay<\/a> men<\/a> in their sexual prime. Most of the stories of that era were focused on what white gay<\/a> men<\/a> were going through, but I think it is important for people of color and women<\/a> to also be a part of that narrative. I\u2019m a Black, gay<\/a> man<\/a>, who\u2019s lived on four continents, traveled the world, I write novels and essays for a living, and have never been in prison or killed, yet. A few of those things, alone, prove challenging, but when you put them all together, it\u2019s made for a peculiar life, but one truly lived. As an artist I need to make sure Black gay<\/a> men<\/a> are presented. We are vast and that has rarely been seen. Our stories matter. We are no longer waiting on others to deem us worthy. We are supporting each other in that pursuit. I like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

TERF TURF<\/strong> Roxanne Gay said \u201cA lot of feminists are very comfortable being anti-trans<\/a>\u201d according<\/a> to Pink New<\/em>s. Speaking to the\u00a0New Statesmen<\/em>,\u00a0Gay explained<\/a>\u00a0that trans<\/a>-exclusionary radical feminists (TERF<\/a>s) have \u201cwoefully\u201d let down transgender people. \u201cThe world is transphobic and I think it\u2019s appalling, because trans<\/a> women<\/a> are women<\/a>,\u201d\u00a0she said.<\/a>\u201cWhen I see how trans<\/a> people are treated and the agony that a lot of trans<\/a> people deal with\u2014the suicide rates, the murder rates of black trans<\/a> women<\/a>\u2014I just think, \u2018Do you really think that\u2019s a choice?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

GAG ME WITH A STONE<\/strong> A federal judge on Friday issued a limited gag order in\u00a0the case of Roger Stone<\/a>, the veteran and voluble political operative and former adviser to\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, in an effort, the judge said, to protect potential jurors from being \u201ctainted by pretrial publicity\u201d reports <\/a>ABC News.<\/p>\n
